Congrats on first fellow west coaster! Todayâs going to be a great day because itâs Barack Obamaâs birthday!đđđđđâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Hmmm..I can tell you right now that the girl pictured in that tweet is NOT Malia Obama. This is a hoax… Why NBC Chicago would report this without confirming is problematic to me.
I doubt itâs a hoax—-all over Chgo media—-more reports from Sun Times—-she was at the first day of fest too—Lorde concert—-and another cute selfie link at end of article.
Dotster the article you just linked shows the same Malia in another tweet with a completely different clothes, hairstyle than the pic in the first article you posted. How do we explain this - pics supposedly taken of her at the same event?
I donât know, hf. I surrender to the whole mystery. Just passing along Obama stuff in Chgo news, altho a tad uncomfortable about it because of WH ban on girlsâ photos when not with parents. One explanation may be that one was from 1st day of fest and one was from 3rd day—-I assume she may have been there all 3 days if that was indeed her. I think NBC Chgo has removed this post, likely from request from WH? —-altho Sun Times still has their article and tweet photo.
LOL! Maybe NBC can revamp their “Unsolved Mysteries” TV series, and this would be their first segment. The unsolved case of Malia Obama at the Lollapalooza festival!
It resembles her a bit, but not quite. And the body language is different.
Meanwhile, another article professing to see Malia the same event, shows a pic of Malia …(looking quite different, wearing different clothes with a different hairstyle). Click on the 3rd & last tweet in this article.
LOL - glad Iâm not the only one who had doubts. And knowing that Malia is about 5ft 11 in, unless the person in the tweet is 6ft, “Malia” looks a bit shorter than her in this pic? Thatâs somewhat unlikely.
The David Gregory rumor mill has proved busier than ever this month, with the latest reports saying he could be looking for a new job.
The New York Post said that NBCâs David Gregory was reportedly at CNN on Thursday, spurring speculation that he is considering a new job at the network. One source told the newspaper that he is trying out for a new primetime show.
Gregoryâs fate at “Meet the Press” has, of course, been the subject of speculation for years, and NBC News has always reiterated its support for the host even as the show struggles in third place behind “This Week” and “Face the Nation.” Just last week, the Post reported that Gregory could be taken off “MTP” after the midterm elections in November. The network called those rumors “false,” as it has done in the past in response to similar reports.
This time, the Post said NBC News had no comment about sightings of Gregory at CNN.
I am SO glad President Obama was born 53 years ago today! On that day, I was working at the Navy Department in D.C., waiting to start graduate school at GWU. Little did I know that a world altering event, , yes, I mean that, was taking place in Honolulu. Bless Ann Dunham. I think of her as a mother, and wish so much she had lived to see her sonâs unbelievable success. She was three years younger than I, and I am now so enjoying my adult children and grandchildren, and feel so very hurt for her that she didnât live to see all this.
But, I am rejoicing that we as a country have him. He is the best president of my lifetime.
Great R&S. Thank you.
Congrats to all the Gold Medalists, starting with this thread and 4 back.
So D. Gregory is now talking to CNN? Seriously? And Chuck Todd might be his replacement? Hmm? Talk about a nail on the Coffin for MTP. From one hack to a blatant rwnj drop out biased wicked fool? Wow. These people running NBC news are messed up.
Serena Williams won. McIlroy won and Tiger Woods messed up his back again.
You know, Iâm not sure I would go to accept this - of what use is it to receive it now? Someone tell me how this makes sense. Places of learning should only be allowed to do stuff like this, legally, if the student has not met the academic requirements for graduation!
Saw that Nena. I put him on my “to buy” list for iTunes! The tune he and the band played was super cool, almost like a track for early 90âs jazz-rap (which I am partial too :-) ) Loved how the tuba played such a funky base line!
Today is a good day, because we have a President in Barack Obama who embodies integrity, peace, and compassion for all. Today is a good day also because there are so many people like those in this community who share those values and stand with him and support him every day.
If her son has his way, heâll soon be walking the halls of the Capitol himself â but probably not with as generous an assessment of his distant relative.

I was wondering that too and also wondering why itâs important for us to know that heâs related to President Obama. Unfortunately, President Obama is also related to Cheney.
This is a beautiful day to be alive and sharing in the celebration of our 44th President of these United States of America with my TOD family.
Mr. President, I hope that you are having a great time with your dear friends, and family. We have hope and loving thoughts going for wisdom, protection, and great continued work for every American who need so much to help them move FORWARD with you as our POTUS.
Enjoy each moment of this day, Mr. President. We love you and we respect you as our great President. Mr. President, I have a delicious coconut cream pie and a lovely white mint candle as part of my celebration. Shining your beautiful light for the world, and eating a delicious coconut cream pie from (one of the best dessert places in my community) as part of my celebration of being alive during the presidency of one of the most sweet and decent men on the planet. Of course with great music and a cup of my favorite Peppermint Tea has to be a part of this wonderful celebration. Take care of your voice, Mr. President because we need a song tonight to celebrate.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President. What an honor to wish a President Happy Birthday and know that I had something to do to help elect this president twice and be such an active part of his presidency. Thank you, Mr. President for allowing our TOD family to have your back.
Loving hugs to our great and beautiful Chips. TY, Chips. You gave us this opportunity in this beautiful space to share this moment as well. HZ
The First Daughters looked like him at different stages of his childhood - Sasha in the first, Malia in the one below, a combination of the two in the upper right. Then finally Barack in the last. :):)
And I wasnât sleeping! I canât imagine why you and Chips always assume Iâm sleeping when Iâm not in the thick of things. I was eating….o-kaaaay?

Anyone following this account? If so, tell them to stop lying about our President - unless theyâre just tongue-in-cheek implying that literally the whole world is following him on Twitter, so anything that gets tweeted from his account gets read by the world.

It does look like her though, Hopefruit. I just wish her friend hadnât tweeted it and had some respect for her privacy and security.
It resembles her a bit, but not quite. And the body language is different.

:-) Good one Dudette! Agreed! …and itâs decidedly stinkier.
Talk about Karma delivering when least expected.
Prudence. Poetic Justice. Fate.

How cute and so true :-)
He was such a cute little boy.
Yes, POTUS ;)
Happy Birthday Mr. President
Hereâs another song that pretty popular on the actual day the President was born. :-)
Well, he IS a Leo… So..
He and his band were on The Colbert Report last week. It was awesome.
Saw that Nena. I put him on my “to buy” list for iTunes! The tune he and the band played was super cool, almost like a track for early 90âs jazz-rap (which I am partial too :-) ) Loved how the tuba played such a funky base line!

Who is Milton wolf?
Excellent question jovie. Who the hell is Milton Wolf?
If her son has his way, heâll soon be walking the halls of the Capitol himself â but probably not with as generous an assessment of his distant relative.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/08/04/a-family-tree-to-explain-how-president-obama-and-milton-wolf-are-related/
running against Pat Roberts for Senate…..State of KS. donât know which will be considered the WORST!!!!
I was wondering that too and also wondering why itâs important for us to know that heâs related to President Obama. Unfortunately, President Obama is also related to Cheney.
